99% of the time, a swollen hard belly on a kitten means it’s infested with worms though.

LoL, if you think this is them scaling back something. Think again. This is the next evolution of their business. They’re trying to phase out people using grocery stores and in person stores in general.

And yet Pepto Bismol is found in huge quantities on every drugstore shelf in the world. How will they ever find enough?? 😂

There is also the fact that AI is being shoved into a lot of places where it really is quite useless. Search engines are the most glaring example of this. LLMs aren’t suited for integration into a search engine, and yet every search engine in existence has had one mashed into it and advertised as the greatest thing since sliced bread. And they all universally suck at it.

I haven’t read the article. I’m not going to read the article because I, quite frankly, don’t care about these people and I hope they all fucking crash and burn. But I’m going to take a guess and say that their attitude is something on the order of “We’re making tons of money how can they possibly be the bubble?”

PETA: THIS IS LITERALLY MURDER!!!

Or you can do like I did and simply put an extra hard drive in, load Linux on it. Then use your old Windows hard drive as a storage drive. For the first couple of weeks it was a nice safety blanket to have.

Oh, and if your PC doesn’t have the room inside for an extra hard drive. Make it an external.

On Tesla’s third-quarter earnings call in October, CFO Vaibhav Taneja said that “the total paid FSD customer base is still small, around 12% of our current fleet.”

Gonna be lower soon. LoL 😂

How is this fool a billionaire? Oh, yeah. Peter Thiel using him as a distraction.

I love how the author keeps bringing up how expensive it would be to implement a system of cloud computing rental because no one would pay the amount it would require to make such a thing profitable. But we’re talking about Jeff bezos here who took billions of dollars worth of loss for over 10 years before making Amazon the profit machine that it is now. Simply by making things cheaper for a long period of time until the customer base eas so used to the model that they could picture doing it any other way and their competition went out of business. I can totally foresee them doing this exact thing with cloud computing. Make it really cheap get people hooked where they have gotten rid of all of their in person computers and then, once access to home computing is either prohibitively expensive or impossible to do because parts are no longer available or otherwise impossible for people to switch away, jack up the price and make it profitable by squeezing every dime out of the average consumer.

This was also, by the way, Netflix’s strategy as well as Spotify and all the other cloud-based services that people are “addicted to”. Take billions and loss to get people used to your service and not consider any alternative. Then once you have a captive audience shoot that price to the Moon.

I was actually talking about here on Lemmy. Though I have been banned from a few subs on reddit as well.

I’ve lost track of how many subs I’ve been banned from cause I pissed off a friend of a mod.

Considering the downward spiral of science in America, it should hurt just a little bit I think.

Edit: especially considering we have not been back to the moon since the early 1970’s even though we’ve had the capability this entire time. We’re only just now planning to send people back to the moon. And even that has taken teeth pulling effort to get the ball rolling. And I’m becoming quite doubtful it’ll actually happen because of who’s in charge of our government at the moment and the people who back them.

Since I’m one of the people who is on the fence about whether or not to pick up a Nintendo Switch 2 or to get myself an ROG Ally (I have $250 of gift cards for Target which don’t sell the Steam Deck) so that I can play steam games on a handheld. I heartily disagree.

And it’s Nintendo’s anti-consumer policies that is making me hesitate on the Switch 2.

As with everything, it all depends on what you find boring.

There’s no action in Citizen Kane. There’s a small mystery who’s answer you may have seen in other media without knowing. Mostly it is a biography about a fictional character, complete with interviews with friends and enemies of said character (the titular Kane). You only actually get to see and know the character through flashbacks.

It should be noted that the character is actually based partly on a real person.

These are ones I end up rewatching with pretty regular frequency. I don’t claim they are the best, but they are what I enjoy the most.

1. Frieren
2. Reincarnated as a Slime
3. FMA: Brotherhood
4. Saga Of Tanya the Evil
5. Goblin Slayer

And now you know why Microsoft bought it. Nothing better than a captive user base.

Paypal needs to be sued unto oblivion.

And now the other shoe drops. We can see what kind of future these companies are shaping for us. Where you have to pay them a subscription fee in order to use premium hardware. While they slowly stop selling it to the public.

The way I read this is that they’re trying to weaponize autism. They see people who are neurodivergent as a resource they can tap into.

Thanks for the info. Didn’t know that shit was on my phone. Deleted.

If you happen to remember the second app name, please post it.
